Horror Missae: Easter Sunday in Lecce: Pastor disguises himself as an Easter egg

There is no any bishop in Rome who defends the House of God from this mockery.

(Rome) While the blood of Christian martyrs was shed in Sri Lanka, on Easter Sunday a priest operated as an animator of his parish. He disguised himself for the Easter Mass as an Easter egg.

In Sri Lanka numerous bombs exploded. The Islamic assassins relentlessly demanded blood. In the churches of Kotahena, Negombo and Batticaloa still held the bodies of slain Christians. They had gathered to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, the most significant event for all humanity. The same is true of the faithful of the parish of St. Bernardine Realino in the episcopal city of Lecce in southern Italy.

The Christians in Sri Lanka expected death from the bombs of the Islamic terrorist militia Islamic State (IS). The Christians of the parish of Saint Bernardine Realino of Lecce awaited their pastor - disguised as an Easter egg.

Don Nando Capone appeared in his parish church as an Easter egg and in his homily also called on the faithful to "be Easter eggs themselves:”

"We are Easter. Each of you should be an Easter egg, a sign of new life, a surprise. Go beyond any wickedness, that is resurrection. "

This spiritually and theologically so "high" and "profound" interpretation of Easter is found readily in the superficial media circus.

The local Internet newspaper Lecce sette headlined enthusiastically:

Don Nando Superstar: The Easter sermon drives the Internet crazy

Let the show go on.

The sermon was posted as a video on Facebook with the comment:

"Happy Easter! Great Don Nando! The most beautiful sermon in the world!

Saint Bernard Realino was born in 1530 in Carpi, northern Italy. He studied medicine and law in Bologna. He exercised the office of mayor, Judge and prpsecutor in the following years in various cities in northern Italy. His legal skills quickly made him a sought after and successful professional man. In the wake of Prince Francesco Fernando d'Avalos d 'Aquino d'Aragona, viceroy in Habsburg Sicily, Bernhardin went to Naples. There, in 1564, after a Marian apparition, he decided to give up his career and enter the still-young, Jesuit order. Consecrated as a priest in 1567, Saint Francisco de Borgia, the third Superior General of the Jesuit Order, made him novice master in Naples. In 1574, the Order sent him to Apulia to found a branch in Lecce. There he worked as a gifted spiritual leader and preacher with great effect on the people and promoted the moral theological formation of the diocesan priests, of whom he made better confessors and preachers.

In 1610 he suffered two wounds in a fall, which no longer healed. Before his death in 1616, blood was taken from him, which liquefied as a "blood miracle" until the mid-19th century. During a canonical recognition in 1711, parts of his body were found unexplained, swimming in a dark red liquid that emitted a fragrant scent. The same thing was repeated in the case of recognition in the years 1804 and 1852. It could no longer be ascertained during the 1985 review.

When Saint Robert Bellarmine heard of his brother's death, he said:

"I've never heard a complaint about Father Realino, even though I was his provincial. Even those who were hostile to the Society and used every opportunity to talk unfavorably about them always made an exception for Realino. ... Everyone knows that he is a saint. "

The tomb of St. Bernardine Realino

In 1838, Pope Gregory XVI. the heroic virtue of Father Bernardino Realino was recognized. Pope Leo XIII. declared him blessed in 1896, after recognizing two miracles attributed to his intercession. After two more miracles, and the recognition of the commissions responsible, his canonization. was carried out by Pope Pius XII. In 1947.

In the same year, the same Pope appointed him Patron of Lecce. So great was his reputation of holiness already during his lifetime, that in 1616 the city fathers of Lecce asked him on his deathbed twice to be patron of the city as soon as he got to heaven. The saint nodded twice.

The remains of Saint Bernard Realino are buried in the Jesuit church of Lecce.

There are worlds between Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka and the Easter performance of Lecce. There are also worlds between the holy patron Bernhardin Realino and Don Nando Capone.

Clown Priest Comes Along As Easter Egg

The notorious Father Nando Capone of San Bernardino Realino in Lecce, Italy, dressed a hat in the form of an Easter egg while preaching at an Easter Eucharist for children.
The video of his homily (below) went viral. The "faithful" in the pews were excited.

Capone said in his homily that "you are Easter, Easter is not the Easter egg which we eat."

The priest is known for abusing the liturgy for gags. In March he dressed a statue of Saint Anthony in his parish church with the scarf of his favorite soccer team.

Capone will not be admonished by his archbishop. Had he reverently celebrated the Old Latin Mass the archbishop would have punished him.

St John Chrysostom

Our Lord having reproached the Jews with blindness, they might have said, We are not blind, but we avoid you as a deceiver. Our Lord therefore gives the marks which distinguish a robber and deceiver from a true shepherd. First come those of the deceiver and robber: Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. There is an allusion here to Antichrist, and to certain false Christs who had been, and were to be. The Scriptures He calls the door. They admit us to the knowledge of God, they protect the sheep, they shut out the wolves, they bar the entrance to heretics. He that uses not the Scriptures, but climbs up some other way, i.e. some self-chosen, some unlawful way, is a thief. Climbs up, He says, not, enters, as if it were a thief getting over a wall, and running all risks. Some other way, may refer too to the commandments and traditions of men which the Scribes taught, to the neglect of the Law. When our Lord further on calls Himself the Door, we need not be surprised. According to the office which He bears, He is in one place the Shepherd, in another the Sheep. In that He introduces us to the Father, He is the Door, in that He takes care of us, He is the Shepherd. (Catena Aurea)

LIBERTAS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE NATURE OF HUMAN LIBERTY
35. And as to tolerance, it is surprising how far removed from the equity and prudence of the Church are those who profess what is called liberalism. For, in allowing that boundless license of which We have spoken, they exceed all limits, and end at last by making no apparent distinction between truth and error, honesty and dishonesty. And because the Church, the pillar and ground of truth, and the unerring teacher of morals, is forced utterly to reprobate and condemn tolerance of such an abandoned and criminal character, they calumniate her as being wanting in patience and gentleness, and thus fail to see that, in so doing, they impute to her as a fault what is in reality a matter for commendation. But, in spite of all this show of tolerance, it very often happens that, while they profess themselves ready to lavish liberty on all in the greatest profusion, they are utterly intolerant toward the Catholic Church, by refusing to allow her the liberty of being herself free.

“If you want to be certain of being in the number of the Elect, strive to be one of the few, not one of the many. And if you would be quite sure of your salvation, strive to be among the fewest of the few; that is to say, do not follow the great majority of mankind, but follow those who enter upon the narrow way, who renounce the world, who give themselves to prayer, and who never relax their efforts by day or night, so that they may attain everlasting blessedness.” -Saint Anselm, Father and Doctor of the Church

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH, THE PROTECTOR OF CHRISTIAN FAMILIES Great Saint Joseph, who wast chosen of God to be the head of the holiest and most august of families, deign to cast thy eyes upon us, and take us this day under thy special protection. Holy Patriarch, model of the holiest faith, and of the most perfect virtues, obtain for all the members of this family grace to withstand the dangers and seductions of the world, and to remain stedfastly attached to the LORD. Obtain for us that, always united by the bonds of the most tender charity, and encouraging one another mutually in good works, we may taste under thy auspices the sweetness of that peace which JESUS has promised to His true disciples. But above all, when our last hour shall come, obtain for us that we may find grace before the Sovereign Judge, so that, reunited in heaven at the foot of Thy Throne, we may celebrate everlastingly the glory of GOD and thy praise. Amen.

St. Vincent Ferrer -- Sermon on the Last Judgment: In the same way, in the time of Antichrist, the Sun of justice will be obscured by the interposition of temporal goods and the wealth which Antichrist will bestow on the world, inasmuch as the brightness of faith in Jesus Christ and the glow of good lives will no longer shine among Christians. For, lest they should lose their dominion, temporal rulers, kings and princes will range themselves on the side of Antichrist. In like manner, prelates for fear of losing their dignities, and religious and priests to gain honors and riches, will forsake the Faith of Christ and adhere to Antichrist.

Neither living nor lifeless faith remains in a heretic who disbelieves one article of faith. The reason of this is that the species of every habit depends on the formal aspect of the object, without which the species of the habit cannot remain. Now the formal object of faith is the First Truth, as manifested in Holy Writ and the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth. Consequently whoever does not adhere, as to an infallible and Divine rule, to the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth manifested in Holy Writ, has not the habit of faith, but holds that which is of faith otherwise than by faith. Even so, it is evident that a man whose mind holds a conclusion without knowing how it is proved, has not scientific knowledge, but merely an opinion about it. Now it is manifest that he who adheres to the teaching of the Church, as to an infallible rule, assents to whatever the Church teaches; otherwise, if, of the things taught by the Church, he holds what he chooses to hold, and rejects what he chooses to reject, he no longer adheres to the teaching of the Church as to an infallible rule, but to his own will. Hence it is evident that a heretic who obstinately disbelieves one article of faith, is not prepared to follow the teaching of the Church in all things; but if he is not obstinate, he is no longer in heresy but only in error. Therefore it is clear that such a heretic with regard to one article has no faith in the other articles, but only a kind of opinion in accordance with his own will. (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 5, a. 3)
